Colin Stetson live in Brooklyn

Experience Colin Stetson live on September 15th

Colin Stetson will perform at Pioneer Works in Brooklyn, New York on September 15, 2026. Stetson is a saxophonist, composer, and multi-instrumentalist known for his intensely physical and often circular breathing techniques while performing solo saxophone pieces. His music blends elements of jazz, experimental music, drone, and gothic influences, creating richly textured and immersive soundscapes. He frequently employs extended techniques on his saxophone—circular breathing, multiphonics, and subharmonics—to produce sounds that often belie the instrument’s typical range.

Pioneer Works is a multidisciplinary arts center housed in a former iron foundry in Red Hook, Brooklyn. Founded in 2012 by Dustin Yellin, it serves as a platform for artists and intellectuals across various disciplines including visual arts, music, science, and performance. The building itself reflects its industrial past with exposed brick and high ceilings; it has been intentionally designed to foster collaboration and experimentation. Pioneer Works regularly hosts exhibitions, residencies, performances and public programs aiming to connect art with broader cultural and scientific inquiry. The space's history as a working industrial site informs its aesthetic and programmatic focus on process and materiality.
